This year marked the twentieth anniversary of the merger of the two companies Amann (1972) and Girrbach (1936).
For the globally active dental manufacturer, which moved into its new headquarters in Mäder, Austria at the beginning of the year, this was the perfect opportunity to welcome trade and co-operation partners, dental technicians and dentists to the site for an exclusive program lasting several days.
The official opening of the new headquarters, which houses production, warehousing/logistics, administration, research/development and a new training center for dental technicians and dentists, was just as much a focus as the opportunity to attend selected lectures, workshops and live sessions on the Amann Girrbach product world.
“The spacious premises here in Mäder allow us to continue to develop in line with our orientation as a globally active and expanding dental company,” explained Manuel Stückler, vice-president Operations, Amann Girrbach).
“For this reason, we would like to offer our national and international guests the opportunity to engage in intensive discussions with us, gain a deeper insight into the development of our products or listen to one of the exciting presentations on our show stage,” Stückler added.
With its Artex, Ceramill and Zolid brands, Amann Girrbach is said to be one of the leading suppliers of equipment and materials for the manufacture of dental restorations. The company produces exclusively in-house at its headquarters in Austria.
This means that the dental manufacturer keeps the entire value chain in-house, allowing it to directly influence the quality level of its products. This maxim is reflected in Amann Girrbach’s entire product portfolio, which is designed to allow technicians and practitioners to provide patients with a smooth and seamless work process.
How this can look in practice was impressively illustrated by speakers such as Dr Cyrus Alamouti, who introduced the audience to the “digitalization of dental practices”. The panel discussion on “Future trends in the dental market”, on the other hand, was an open discussion.
The contributors, including Falko Noack (vice-president Research & Development, Amann Girrbach), Markus Lensing (Albrecht-Dürer-Berufskolleg) and Dr Stephan Weihe (University Witten/Herdecke) examined current and future scenarios in the dental world from a wide variety of perspectives.
